Debt Tsunami Threatens Europeby John De Roe

In its annual list of financial predictions, the CEBR said a new eurozone crisis was probable rather than possible 2011. The Think Tank cited the hundreds of billions of euros worth of debt that members must replace this year. What this means in layman's terms is many bonds, the vehicles which governments use to finance their overspend, reach maturity. Bond holders who have reveived iunterst on the value of their holdings will now want to cash them in.

The situation of many countries in the Eurozone means that purchasers of bonds, who are effectively lending money to those organisations issuing them are going to want higher interest rates if they are to buy new bonds to replace the ones they cash in. Similarly new purchasers are going to seek a higher return because financial instability of Eurozone nations means there is a higher risk of interest obligations being defaulted on.

"If the euro doesn't break up, this could be the year when it weakens substantially towards parity with the dollar," said Douglas Williams, chief executive of CEBR.

Maternity services are close to breaking point and care for mothers is worsening, the UK's leading midwife warns in a dramatic plea over the declining state of childbirth on the NHS.
Labour wards are struggling to give women the proper quality of care under the "relentless" pressure of a record birth rate, staff shortages and increasingly complex births, says Cathy Warwick, general secretary of the Royal College of Midwives.
Writing in the Observer, Warwick warns that the situation in maternity units is so grave the ...

comment by Ed Butt:
Again we must say 'we told you so' having warned of this disaster in waiting in the maternity care departments of the National Health Service, in pre - Daily Stirrer days. Our predecessor Little Nicky Machiavelli wrote on this subject.

Once again however we are afraid we'll see the coalition government getting the blame for the mess labour made during their dominance from 1997 to 2010. We don't much care for the coalition or any other political grouping but at least let's give them a chance. It seems unfair that people as obsessed with the word 'fair' as Labour leader Ed Milliband and other leading figures in the party are could blame the Conservative governments of 1979 to 97 for all the country's ills right up to May 2010 but now accept no responsibility for their own incompetence and blame the new government for everything that is wrong with society after 13 years of Labour rule.
The breakdown in maternity care is not due to the coalition government's planned public spending cuts which have not taken effect yet but are down to the financial idiocy of Labour minister from Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, architects of the disastrous PFI schemes that tip shitloads of taxpayers money from the public purse into private pockets, the insane growth of NHS bureaucracy at the expense of front line care and the slavish devotion of Labour to academics who have spent their lives cocooned in University faculties and are thus too divorced from reality to ever see the folly of making vocational occupations like nursing into degree - entry professions.
All this move achieved apart from getting people out of the employment market and therefore off the jobless figures for a few years was to fill hospital wards with mincing queens who strut around brandishing their degrees in nursing while showing absolutely zero understanding of human nature and running a mile when a job involving anything messy or smelly needs dealing with.

Conservative backbenchers are preparing to ambush the controversial European Union Bill which goes before the Commons when MPs return from their Christmas break.
Eurosceptic Tories will table radical changes to the legislation, which they claim does not deliver on its promise of a referendum on future transfers of powers to the European Union.
If the changes strengthening the legislation are not accepted by the Government, some Conservatives said they might even vote down ...

comment - by Ian R Thorpe:
And so Cameron and Clegg along with the voters learn another valuable lesson about coalition government. If this prediction becomes reality and Conservative backbenchers vote down the EU Bill because it does not contain a firm commitment to a referendum on any future proposals to transfer sovereign powers to the unelected bureaucrats of Brussels.

It should be remembered that the coalition leaders, David Cameron and Nick Clegg, like most European leaders are both deeply committed to expansion and further integration of the EU member states gradually moving towards a single European government with unified taxation and fiscal policies, criminal justice systems and foreign policy. Both Cameron and Clegg have supported the campaign to admit Turkey to the EU as a full member. Only last month the EU Commission's Spanish President Jose Barosso spoke in Lebanon of a European / Middle Eastern / African economic union. For people who have to have two links before they will believe anything you can read it here too: Africa - E U tie up. Fortunately most Conservative MPs are against further integration with the EU.

With Germany, France and Britain set to bear the brunt of bailing out the so called PIIGS, (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Greece; the nations that have already or will shortly cave in under the burden of sovereign debt) do we really need to castrate ourselves by getting tied up with the middle east's terrorist states or Africa's economic basket cases. The majority of European voters say no which is why all European elections are revealing a marked swing to the right. The Unelected bureaucrats of Brussels and the big government tax eaters of member nations scenting even bigger bureaucratic empires to leach off tax revenues loudly say 'Yes,' as do the politicians who sent even more opportunities to strut the world stage and use the oxygen of media attention to inflate their egos.

While we must suspect Labour's motives in opposing this bill after the party spent its ten years in power up to May 2010 pushing the expansion and integration causes. Still, if the party's hatred of those who disagree with them and anger that their sense of entitlement to power has been trodden on drives them to the hypocritical course of defeating a policy they would have supported while in power, so long as it is a policy that would have worked against the interests of the voters and in the interests of big government and the one - worlders, we should thank them.

European Debt Markets Face Second Credit Crisis

European debt markets could be hit by a second credit crisis within months as fears grow over the huge volume of new bonds that must be sold by governments and banks in 2011.

Banks alone must refinance about 400bn (Ł343bn) of debt in the first half of the year, but add in the more than 500bn European governments must replace over the same period, as well as further hundreds of billions of euros of mortgage-backed debt

We were a bit slow off the mark when we reported on this one at The Daily Stirrer on New Year's Day, only a few days ahead of the news breaking in mainstream media instead of weeks or months as we usually manage to be.

Dumbing Down Has Destroyed Respect For Academics

Academic inflation is as dangerous to any country as its financial equivalent. When university degrees no longer represent a genuine assessment of a graduates abilities, the whole intellectual currency is debased. In Britain, as we report today, this insidious process has reached an unacceptable level. A far higher proportion of graduates is being awarded first-class degrees and upper seconds than was ...

A story based on the latest official education statistics (and as usual we recommend you be wary of all statistics) proves something The Daily Stirrer and other common sense driven members of the new media corps have been telling the world for some time. Government's obsession with using statistics to prove educational standards are rising is just a front to cover up the politicisation of the academic community. It starts in primary school and goes right through to higher education.

One of the main drivers of grade inflation in the adademic world is money. Constantly improving results are required for schools, colleges and universities, particularly all the University of Usedtobeapoly establishments that have sprung up everywhere, to secure their funding from government coffers.

With respect for teachers and the politically correct curriculum they are forced to teach at an all time low and idiotic rules preventing the imposition of discipline and order in the classroom pupils are just not learning. Thus they are arriving at University with excellent qualifications on paper but in need of remedial educatiuon in basic numeracy and literacy.

Politics has no place in education but to the left everything is politics and the left has been allowed to hi - jack the education.

VAT increase comes into effect. Left warns it will cause the end of the world.

by
John de Roe
The increase in VAT from 17.5% to 20% came into effect today although many prices will not increase for several weeks. Labour leaders and others with a vested interest in destabilizing the coalition government are screaming that the increase will lead to a financial Armageddon and would drive the low paid into penury.

Anybody who has the slightest understanding of how VAT works would know this is not the case.

When the Labour government made a temporary cut in VAT to 15%, a move they claimed would stimulate the economy, it was barely noticed and the economy continued to flatline. When the VAT reate was restored last year to 17.5% the economic Armageddonists were screaming it would plunge us into a second recession. It didn't, the economy continued to flatline.

So is the latest increase, made necessary by the structural deficit inherited by the coalition from the irresponsible loons of Labour's treasury team and the irresponsibility of Labour's open door immigration policy, likely to have a significant effect on the economy?

I would think not.

What interests me however is a remark made by Chancellor George Oborne when speaking to the media.

from The Daily Telegraph
The Chancellor said he considered the new 20 per cent VAT rate permanent and refused to say it would come down once the economy recovers and the deficit paid down.

Mr Osborne also seized on Labours admission that they were still happy to raise National Insurance ahead of any VAT increase to meet deficit reduction plans. The Chancellor said that was a tax on jobs and would hit

This might indicate a fundamental change of approach by the coalition to taxation, the switch from direct to indirect taxation talked of for decades but never truly implemented. The problem with income tax is it taxes work. People do not have a choice, your money is snatched by the government before you see it. They tell us it is used to provide vital services but the NHS is funded by National Insurance and transport should be funded from the punitive taxes on fuel we have always endured in Britain. I think an analysis would reveal that most of what we hand over in income tax is spent on employing vast armies of form fillers, rubber stamp bangers and paperclip chain makers.

The only public service this army performs is to protect us from the true horror of how few people in the UK economy are now employed in real jobs.

Record Manufacturing Growth Boosts Recovery Hopes

by Xavier Connolly

Manufacturing activity last month grew at its fastest pace since 1994 as exports drove new orders. The acceleration, reflected in the closely watched Markit/CIPS manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI), was sharper than expected at 58.3  where any figure above 50 indicates expansion. Economists were expecting ...
read full story Record Growth In Manufacturing

Thanks to the visionary wisdom of John Major, possibly our greatest Prime Minister (said Xav with tongue firmly in cheek, while the Eurozone stuggles and even the mighty German economic juggernaut falters under the burden of sovereign debt, Britain, while hardly racing ahead or setting the ground alight in our wake is pottering along with good news slightly outweighing bad.

For all John Major's faults he did keep us out of the European single currency and as one of my colleagues wrote yesterday and as the wider world is beginning to realise the creation of the European Monetary System was never intended to create a stable economic community. The real agenda was the lunatic notion of crrating a European superstate.

To lump Germany together with France, Britain and Holland into a political union with basket cases like Greece and Portugal was the insane policy of unelected bureaucrats intent on building an empire for the benefit of their largely faceless paymaster, the one world fascists of the Bilderberg Group. If this sounds like a Conspiracy theory here's a name. Maurce Strong. Never heard of him? He is one of the most powerful men in the world. Just Google that name and find out what he was unto throughout the 1990s and in the past decade.
Thanks to John Major Britain has managed to stand aside from the chaos that was bound to be the result of trying to splice together steel hawsers and silk threads. Now because the government have been able to weaken the pound to the benefit of exports our manufacturers, under attack for so long first from Margaret Thatcher's conservatives during their war on the workers and later from New Labour who seemed to go to war on everybody except the academics, lawyers and bureaucrats who make up the membership of 'the people's party' these days are now finding the playing field being tilted in their favour.

The change in the economic environment since the coalition government took power and shifted the focus from pandering to the interests of minorities, promoting immigration and expanding the public sector to supporting manufacturing, rolling back the idiocies of politically correct thinking and controlling the deficit has encouraged a spectaculr turnaround in manufacturing.

One hopes this trend can be maintained and we can eventually get back to being a manufacturing nation rather than a nation of bankers, call centre clerks and property developers.

Facebook Suicide

by Ian R Thorpe

In a week in which the ever more fickle mainstream media have been heaping praise on Facebook simply because somebody who it either an idiot or an evil control freak is willing to pay around $25billion for this site that has never made a penny in profit despite its (very dubious) claims to have 600 million users worldwide and has no busimess model other than encouraging people to become addicted to the 'virtual' lifestyle it offers and thus abandon real life, we are saddened by this story of another Facebook suicide

The devastated mother of a woman who told 1,048 Facebook "friends" she had just taken a fatal overdose has asked why none of them helped her.

Simone Back, 42, posted a last message on the social networking site at 10.53pm on Christmas Day saying: "Took all my pills be dead soon bye bye everyone."

Some of the Facebook friends posted messages calling her a liar and one said it was "her choice".

From that we get a glimpse of the pernicious effect social networking is having on a society that has evolved over five million years based on human contact, on shared interests (initially for the first hominids that stood on their back legs an interest in staying alive) and on the bonds of community that the necessity of sharing our living space, food gathering activities and self protection needs impose.

The internet and social networks isolate us from those natural communities and encourage us to live in bubbles of unreality. We may have several hundred friends on a social network and not know any of them. We would even be likely to walk past such friends in the street and not recognise them. Furthermore many of our friends could be the same person and we would not know it.

The time has come for a new perspective on the internet. There are people saying it is an evl influence. It is not, it is neither good nor evil but it can facilitate both. Therefore to counter arguments for regulation by saying it is a force for good do not stand up. People can do good things or bad things. If we do not constrain the activities of those who do bad things their actions negate all the good in the world. I do not believe in evil in a religious sense, to me evil is nothing but extreme selfishness.

The internet, in the way it isolates addicts from reality, encourages such selfishness. Some people can get a vicarious thrill from looking into the lives of others, particularly those naive enough to live their lives online. Some take delight in being hurtful, in rubbishing the achievements of people, in watching the suffering of others.

An intelligent argument from one of the few genuine liberals still working in mainstream media as opposed to the incoherent howling we are getting from the rabid lefties at the BBC and The Guardian.

Flu Deaths Hit Fifty This Year

by Ed Butt

Flu Deaths Hit Fifty This Year
More official bullshit from the Ministry of Fear and Panic. Quite what the aim of this is as most of the overbought flu vaccine from the bird flu scare of a few years ago, another pandemic that did not happen, are past their 'use by' date now and clinics are running out of vaccine.

People need to be told not to panic, that (as Dr. Hilary Jones assured viewers on breakfast TV this morning, 'flu is a relitavely mild illness and only in a very small number of cases does it pose a serious threat to life or long term wellbeing.

So WTF is the point of the government putting our divel like this from a doctor in the North East region:

There is a huge burst of H1N1 (swine flu) marching up the country.

There are many more people being referred for ECMO treatment than they are used to, and there are not the ECMO beds that would appear to be required at the minute.

We can accept a certain amount of scaremongering in the cause of Pharmaceutical Corporation's profits but that kind of thing should be a crminal offence. Sadly we are quickly learning that despite their early promises The Coalition are backing off from their promise to roll back the nanny state and allowingthemselves to be influenced b y the self serving scumbags of the academic community, control freak bureaucrats, the power seking professions and the financial inducements offered by corporate interests.

Last week The Daily Stirrer reported:

... Dr Winter, a consultant in intensive care medicine at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, said there were empty critical care beds in the network that his hospital belonged to, which covers Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Burton-on-Trent.
"I wouldn't over-egg this," he added. "Swine flu is just another form of seasonal flu, and we usually get 3,000 deaths a year from seasonal flu. Swine flu is just one of the three strains [of flu] circulating." ...

That puts the whole hype into perspective. 50 so far this winter, i.e. from the beginning of November. So if we compare that to an average year and say that we are a third of the way through the 'flu season we are heading for a year with fewer deaths from 'flu like viruses than usual.

SO WHY ARE WE BEING TOLD IT'S PANIC STATIONS?

HOW MANY DOSES OF VACCINE DO THE COALITION HAVE TO SELL TO EARN THEIR BUNGS FROM BIG PHARMA?

Maybe it is just an example of the irresistible compulsion to waste taxpayers' money that grips all politicians the moment they assume power.

If this is an example of David Cameron using his nudger it loks as if we will have to castrate him very soon.

Radio Telescopes Photograph Nearest Galaxy To Earth

A spectacular new photo of our nearest galaxy lit up like a neon sign has been captured by European astronomers using state of the art space telescopes.

Regular Readers of The Daily Stirrer will know we are somewhat sceptical about 'science.' Now there is a lot of good and valuable work done in research and development using those accumulated bodies of knowledge known as The Sciences. But when people start trying to pass off speculative research or even unsubstantiated and unproveable theories as 'science' it is a sure sign we are dealing with research grant bludgers, Nobel Prize phishers and useless twunts who plant to spend all their worthless lives in the unreality bubbles provided by universities where they can live in relative luxury without ever having to trouble themselves with a day's real work.
These prize dicks who claim to have photographed the nearest galaxy to earth are cases in point.read full story:Telescopes Photograph Nearest Galaxy

Now just think about this paragraph carefully.

Both images, released as a composite on Wednesday by the European Space Agency, were taken over Christmas.

The view would be impossible from Earth because both X-rays and infrared radiation from space is absorbed by our own atmosphere.

A composite... Both X rays and infra red radiation from space is absorbed... ?

from Compton's Encyclopedia.
X rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation--oscillating electric and magnetic fields traveling at the speed of light. Their usefulness lies in their ability to penetrate matter. X rays have been used as a powerful probe to study distant astronomical objects. X rays, which can penetrate all mirrors, are difficult to focus in a conventional telescope, but special X-ray telescopes are designed so that incoming X rays strike deeply concave mirrors at small, glancing angles so that they can be brought to a focus on detectors

infrared, designating or of those invisible rays just beyond the red end of the visible spectrum: their waves are longer than those of the spectrum colors but shorter than radio waves ...

So these 'scientists' have not photographed anything. They have taken readings of various type of radiation coming from the direction of the Andromeda Galaxy and using data generated from that have created a computer simulation of what they think the galaxy might look like ... or might have looked like 2.5 million years ago because that is when the light arriving here now was emitted.

It will be another two and a half million years before before we know whether the Andromeda galaxy was even still there when the radiation from which these simulations were constructed arrived at the orbiting telescope.

Now if you bear in mind the fact that light travelles at 186,000 miles per second (in a vacuum, which space isn't) and our fastest spacecraft yet launched has only achieved speeds in the region of 35,000 mph. In one hour then light travels 670616629 miles (Yahoo answers) That is over 25,000 times faster than the fastest spaceship we have yet built.

So extrapolate that and we find with current technology it would take us 67 million years to get to the Andromeda galaxy. In that time our astronauts would have forgotten why they wanted to go in the first place.

Scientists claim they are on the verge of creating new methods of propulsion that will enable us to travel at speeds much closer to that of light. We would also need a whole new range of materials to withstand the stresses of travelling at such speeds. We should file these claims in the same recepticle as the ones made by computer scientists for the past forty years that they are on the verge of building machines that can think for themselves. The one where we put the stuff that is going to be recycled as toilet paper. Such claims are nothing more than research grant phishing. There would be a better chance on seeing a return on money invested in the schemes of Mr. Nibudongu Chumbawamba the former Nigerian government official who regularly seeks help in expatriating his fortune after his bank accounts were frozen by a new government.

There is a big difference between the real science that can be proved by demonstration and 'science' which is all about theory, speculation, computer simulation and wasting money on things that can never produce any tangible benefits. Enthusiasts for the second kind of 'science' perhaps need 'professional help' if they really find it so difficult to get their heads round one simple fact.

Terror Alert Raised At Major Air Traffic Hubs

The terrorist threat level at major transport hubs in the UK has been raised to severe, it was reported today.

Extra police have been deployed on the rail network and at Heathrow airport, according to the unconfirmed reports, but there was no suggestion of an imminent threat.
The raising of the threat level from substantial applies specifically to

WANT TO KNOW WHY THE TERRORISTS CAN JERK WESTERN SECURITY FORCES CHAIN SO EFFECTIVELY?Ed Butt writes:How American Incompetence Armed Al Qaeda an in depth report in The Guardian throws light on the chaos that existed in Iraq in the years after Saddam Hussein was overthrown.

The report focuses on the looting of Saddam's main munitions plant from which vast store of weapons and thousands of tons of explosives were taken after the Ba'athist regime collapsed.

No doubt the current US administation will blame the Bush government for this while supporters of George W. Bush will blame either the current Commnder-in-Chief, America's allies or the people in charge during Bill Clinton's presidency. The Daily Stirrer has not ben a fan on any recent Presidents or Prime Ministers. All the political leaders touched by this debacle since its beginnings in the first Gulf War in 1991 have been to a greater or lesser degree self serving shits.

But the problem is not with them, it lies much lower down the command chain with the officers on the ground and also with education systems obsessed with politically correct thinking and with the job of turning out from our schools identical little conformists instead of individuals capable of gaining the skills and experience to make the right decisions and get things done.

Politically Correct thinking, when faced with a problem refers to procedure or awaits instruction from above. The kind of people we need as miiitary officers, civil servants or business managers are those who look at a problem from all angles, make sure they understand it properly and then do what needs to be done.

We did not have such people in Iraq or Afghanistan, we do not have them at home to deal with terror threats, the problems posed by climate chaos or the increasing industrial dominance of the far east. Our leaders are more concerned with same sex marriage and adoption righs, with allowing screaming queens to mince around the battlefields brandishing pink weapons with promoting people way above their level of competence simply because they have dark skin or ovaries or sucking up to Muzza religious lunatics who want to kill everybody that does not worship their god.

Xavier Connolly writes:
A move like this is long overdue. Although I lecture in engineering education is a second career, until I was in my fifties I worked in engineering. Thus it has long been very apparent to me that one of the main reasons the education system has failed pupils, and particularly boys, so badly it because it was hijacked by academics. Even practical subjects like mechanical or electrical engineerting have been taugh in a way that emphasised the abstract and theoretical over the practical and demonstrable.

Most boys and young men like practical demonstarations. Show them how to take a car engine apart and put it back together and they will gain an adequate understanding of the principles involved. Show them a lot of mathematical formulae and they will turn from reality to dreams of achieving celebrity through TV shows like The X Factor.

Academics, thinkers, scholars are a very important part of the structure of society whether they work in theoretical physics or ancient history. Few such people are needed in a functioning society however and few are truly cut out for such a career. In education for several decades now the emphasis has been on academic learning.

We can learn from books, we can learn from practical tuition or we can learn by experience and by osmosis (simply absorbing knowledge from our environment. Academics sneer at this because such learning has nothing to do with them but it is the most important kind of learning, they way we all learn to speak our mother tongue.

Bringing back the Technical Schools and taking the doers out of the deadening atmosphere created by academics is the best thing we can do for education.

Pakistani Men See White Girls As Easy Meat

Somebody needed to speak out about how ethnic minorities are getting away with, if not quite murder some very nasty stuff, thanks to the protection of the Politically Correct Thought Police who styling themselves 'progressives' have hijacked the national agenda. Well done to former Labour minister Jack Straw for braving the wrath of the rabid mob.

from The Daily Telegraph
The Blackburn MP has called on the Pakistani community to be "more open" about the issue after describing about a "specific problem" involving young Pakistani men's attitudes towards white girls. He was speaking after two Asian men were jailed after subjected a series of vulnerable girls to rapes and sexual assaults. Abid Mohammed Saddique, 27, was jailed for a minimum of ...

Sensationalist reporters and race obsessed lefties are bound to try to make a mountain out of this molehill. It has been clear to most people living in North East Lancashire for some time that the Blackburn M.P. was not happy with the attitudes to British ways and customs of a section of the Pakistani community.

The targeting of young white girls by Asian men has been going on a long time and when Mr. Straw uses the term vulnerable here he does not mean those with learning difficulties or physical disabilities. He is talking about those emotionally starved young women who have grown up in broken homes, deprived of a male figure or perhaps with transient male figures in their lives who were likely to behave inappropriately to the adolescent daughters of partners.

This increased incidence of dysfunctional home life is a result of the Conservatives war on the working class from 1979 to 1997 and Labour's war on the family, European values and common sense before and since. Jack Straw would never have dared to criticise an immigrant community and particularly one of dark skinned ethnicity while he was a member of a Labour government. The Thought Police led by Harriet Harperson would have lynched him.

Unfortunately what Mr. Straw says is true. And what is more such unacceptable behaviour is condoned by the Politically Correct Thought Police in the name of "embracing cultural diversity." Diversity my arse. It may be acceptable to fuck pubescent girls in the tribal lands of Pakistan but not in Britain. Can you imagine the howls and screams of the Politically Correct Thought Police if a young white man seduced an under age Pakistani girl. Think of the noise they make when a while male is exposed as the lover of a thirteen or fourteen year old girl (even if she is consenting) then multiply it by a hundred or more.

My first encounter with the hypocrisy of politically correct thinkers came about thirty years ago. At the time I was doing some radio work part time and it being a BBC local radio station, strident left wing feminists were somewhat over represented on the staff. The worst of these was a real "all men are rapists and should be castrated" type of harridan.

One day the local news was about a rape case, a British girl had been raped and police were looking for an Asian man.

"Oh, they'll never catch him," Miss Castratemall said, "Asian people have this wonderful community ethos, as soon as they knew he was in trouble he would have been taken to relatives in another Asian community and he will be on a flight back to Pakistan as soon as the way is clear. They look after member of their community, its marvellous." The stupid bitch could not see that she was being hypocritical. She was the type of feminist who only needed to see a man looking at page three in The Currant Bun to go off on one about evil masculinity, but it was OK for someone from an ethnic minority to brutally rape an English girl.

What horrible people lefties truly are. Never let them bully you into thinking their posturing is because they care about their causes. All they are interested in is being seen to care

So that is the kind of stupidity we are up against from the left. If the political establishment do not face up to it there is going to be trouble, big nasty trouble in many areas with large immigrant communities.

One for the conspiracy theorists as scientists try but fail to explain this away by saying "There will be a rational scientific explanation."

Scientists are idiots. To say they will explain incidents like this and then fail to do so or offer an explanaion so full of holes it looks like a fetishists underwear only discredits the science they use as a quasi religious crutch to prop up their certainties. Quite simply events like this are commonplace, they happen all the time. Suddenly one will get reported and then a spate of similar incidents will make the news. And then it will be old news and not get reported any more.

The world is unscientific, life is not controlled by nice, neat, predictable algorithms. Inexplicable things happen but the biggest mystery is why people waste time trying to explain them. Naa Naaa Na Naa Naaa.

When something like this does make the papers and scientists hysterically try to deny there is anything odd going on it only encourages those of us who know life is insane and the only way to get through it is to take nothing seriously to start having fun with conspiracy theiries. The best thing about conspiracy theories is they get sciencyheads more wound up than the odd, inexplicable events that trigger them.

America's Debt Crisis Traps Less Well Off In Depression Conditions

by John de Roe

News this weekend has been dominated by the assassination attempt on a Democratic Congresswoman and her companions in Tuscon, Arizona. As the story is everywhere there is little point The Daily Stirrer commenting other than to offer our condolences to those injured and the families of people who died in the attack.

What this incident has done however is to focus the attention of the outside world on some very worrying social trends in the world's most powerful nation, namely the polarisation on political, racial and regional lines and the seething anger at most levels of American society which has led to the re-emergence of armed para - military organisations of a kind that appeals to the young man accused of the Tuscon on Gabrielle Giffords' party.

The United States, having been steered onto the rocks of financial crisis by successive administrations all the way back to those of the 1960s is now sinking deeper and more dangerous crisis. Self-congratulation by the US administration and its finance department who claim they have avoided a return to the conditions that prevailed in the great depression of the 1930s is premature.

We always advise readers to be wary of statistics but there are some details in the US retail chain store data for December that could be very significant. Stephen Lewis, an analyst for Monument Securities highlights figures showing that luxury outlets saw an 8.1pc rise from the same month a year ago, but discount stores catering to Americas poorer people rose just 1.2pc.

Luxury retailers Nieman Marcus and Saks are booming. Sales of Cadillac and Porsche cars have rocketed by 30% yet Best Buy, Target, and Walmart have languished. Such is the effect of the Federal Reserve's policy of printing money or as they like to call it Quantitative Easing (QE). To remind you how this works, all governments sell bonds as a means of borrowing money to cover shortfalls in revenue. The government will issue a bond with a nominal face value and a guarantee to pay a fixed rate of interest on the face value. Bond traders will then buy the bonds at a discount or premium. So if a $1million, 3%, 3 year, is bought for $925,000 the purchaser gets 3% of $1million for three years, not 3% of the money they lave actually loaned to the government.

What governments have been doing since the worst of the crisis in 2008 is selling bonds through one department and buying them back through another thus creating money on paper. Why are they doing this? Because nobody wants to buy bonds for a price the governments find acceptable. The more a bond's face value is discounted the higher the actual rate of interest. Through QE and ridiculously low base interest rates (the rates at which banks borrow from government) governments hoped to restart the debt driven economy by flooding the economy with cheap money the banks could borrow and would be happy to lend to already overstretched customers.

This did not work. Banks simply borrowed money from governments at 0.5% and loaned it back at over 3% in the case of stable economies and up to 10% in for economic basket case nations. Now quantitative Easing is being used to try to prop up the stock market as currencies lose value and a combination of inflation (an inevitable consequence of QE) and demand drives up commodity prices.

The Fed no even tried to deny that the purpose of its latest blast of bond purchases, or QE2, is to boost Wall Street, perhaps because it has so clearly failed to achieve its stated purpose of driving down borrowing costs to business / retail customers..

Ben Bernankes make or break strategy risks polarising Americas already bitterly divided society long before it can begin to help the poor, the long term jobless and those people who have dropped off the radar, the so called 99ers, in the industrial heartlands.

The retail data can be distorted by short term influences such as bad weather, an international crisis or an apparent threat to security but it fits in with other, more solid facts. Numbers of people on food stamps have risen to 43.2m, an all time-high of 14pc of the population. Recipients receive debit cards  not stamps -- currently worth about $140 a month under President Obamas stimulus package (I took that figure from a BBC report but it seems very low so treat it with caution). Communiques from a conference of local authority leaders (Mayors in the US) said visits to soup kitchens are up 24pc this year. There are 643,000 people needing shelter each night.

Jobs data released on Friday was again shocking. The only the reason that headline unemployment fell to 9.4pc was that so many people dropped out of the system altogether. British readers will be familiar with this statistical quirk, we have had a year of hearing the jobless total had fallen while numbers in work had fallen too. It's a simple deception, limit the time a person is entitled to job seeker's allowance then shift them to a more demeaning benefit, welfare in the US, income support in the UK, and say they are deemed to be no longer looking for work and remove them from the statistics.

Actual jobs in America contracted by 260,000 to 153,690,000. The labour participation rate for working-age men over 20 dropped to 73.6pc, the lowest the since the data series began in 1948.

Corporate America is in a V-shaped recovery, said Robert Reich, a former labour secretary. Thats great news for investors whose savings are mainly in stocks and bonds, and for executives and Wall Street traders. But most American workers are trapped in an L-shaped recovery.

The National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU), which exists to counter "domestic extremism", is so secretive that police will not confirm the precise location of its base or the identity of its head.

The paranoia that exists in government is always amusing. While for ordinary people "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time" as we get on with our lives knowing those lives could be terminated in any of a thousand ways at any moment the government and security services, the people who delude themselves we look to them for protection from all risks continue to jump from shadows, be victims of the fear and panic they spread to justify their salaries and have their strings jerked daily by the stories printed in sensationalist newspapers.

Another MP Faces Jail For False Expenses Claims

The member for Barnsley Central is the first sitting MP to be convicted of expenses fraud.

Illsley was due to stand trial at Southwark Crown Court in London but he changed his pleas on three charges of false accounting relating to three years of expenses claimed on his second home in London.

E.on Hits Energy Bills For Domestic Users

The price rises of 9 per cent for electricity and 3 per cent for its gas customers comes into force on February 4. For those that take both sources of energy from the company, their annual bill will go from Ł1,187 to Ł1,250.

An estimated 4 million e.on customers will be hit by the increase.

It is the latest bill increase to hit families after the rise in VAT to 20 per cent at the start of the year, along with petrol climbing towards Ł6 a gallon and stubbornly high food prices.

The company blamed "rising industry costs", adding that wholesale energy prices have ...

John de Roe comments:
Sharply increasing energy prices serve to remind us the global crisis is far from over, indeed it may be still in its first phase. The debt crisis has burst the bubble that was keeping western economies afloat but now we face the developing nations with their huge populations demanding better living standards in return for their labour and resources thus raising costs of both the labour and increasingly scarce resources the west relies on.

At the moment we are facing increased competition for oil and gas supplies which are worldwide. When those increases filter through to the manufacturing and food producing industries we are going to face rising prices not just for energy but for everything.

Retirement At 65 by Default Ends

from The Daily Telegraph:End Of Default Retirement Age
Fulfilling a pledge in the Coalition agreement, Employment Relations Minister Ed Davey heralded the end of the default retirement age.

Age campaigners have long called for it to be scrapped.

But, while less than a third of firms still insist on people leaving on their 65th birthday, there are concerns among business leaders about the change.

The Institute of Directors has criticised the move - featured in both the Conservative and Liberal Democrat election manifestos - for reducing flexibility for employers.

Ed butt comments:
That's going to do wonders for the young jobless. The economic mismanagement of governments over the past thirty years has created a pensions time bomb. Many people who responded to the exhortations to 'save for a comfortable retirement' are now finding that having denied themselves luxuries in order to provide security in retirement for themselves, their pension funds have been eroded by inflation, stock market boom and bust economics, stealth taxes and fraudulent practices in the finance industry.

Some pensioners have allways supplemented their income with part time or low paid work but if all pensioners now have the opportunity to stay in work so long as they feel able and to thus keep their savings growing who can blame them. This will only deny jobs to younger people of course.

Nobody in politics or the civil service has bothered to give much thought to the age problem created by the sudden increase in average life span in the past half century. When the retirement age was set the average age at death (distorted by the two great wars of the 20th century) was under 65. When I started work in the 1960s it had risen to 68 for men, 71 for women. Now people expect to live until over eighty and longevity expert Prof. Aubrey de Grey says life expectancy is increasing by almost a year for every real time year that passes.

We have to lower our expectations or find a way of employing a lot of extra people.

The central banks have held interest rates at insanely low levels for far too long now. This measure was intended to stimulate economic activity but was always dooned to fail while governments were running huge deficits and having to sell huge sums of bonds to cover the shortfall in revenue.

Richard Thompson, partner at PwC, said: "Consumers will find it hard to absorb such large increases in debt interest payments without cutting back on spending.
"Given the historical significance of debt fuelled consumption to the UK economy, this prolonged contraction may impede retail sales and could be a drag on economic growth."

Cost Of Fuel And Food Drives Inflation Up

from The Daily Telegraph
The official measure of inflation showed that prices rose 3.7pc in the year to December, up from the previous month's 3.3pc rate as the soaring cost of oil drove the biggest monthly increase on record.

The figures from the Office for National Statistics mean that inflation, as tracked on the consumer price index (CPI), stayed at least one percentage point away from the Banks 2pc target for the whole of last year.

The end of year surge also signalled that inflation spiked above the peak forecast by Bank policymakers  whose central projections were for it to hit ...

from The Guardian
Alan Rusbridger, the editor-in-chief of the Guardian, today stepped into the debate over whether Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation should be allowed to take full control of BSkyB, by warning of the "chilling effect" that "one large media company can have on public life".

We have spoken out on this before and Little Nicky Machiavelli has speculated that the seemingly unstoppable advance of News International brands in their push to dominate all significant areas of UK information media was part of a deal made by Tony Blair in which New Labour would deviver media dominance to the corporation headed by The Dirty Digger, Rupert Murdoch in return for the support of Murdoch's mass circulation newspapers during the 1997 general election campaign.

Never underestimate the amount of influence weilded by a few multi national corporations over the minutiae of ordinary people's daily lives. And if you want to know how that influence works, reread George Orwell's 1984.

Labour today called for Lord Young to be sacked as an adviser to David Cameron after the peer suggested most Britons had "never had it so good" during the "so-called recession".
Angela Eagle, the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, accused the enterprise adviser for showing "complete indifference" to the concerns of people whose jobs would be at risk because ...

John De Roe Comments:
The problem is Lord Young is right. Thanks to the ridiculously low and if they continue much longer they will be harmfully low interest rates many homebuyers whose jobs are reasonably secure are finding they are better off than they have ever been. One must hope for their sake they are not tempted by the government's propaganda aimed at kicking off a new debt led comsumer boom to restore some growth in the economy.

If they do not resist that tempation their situation could become very bad the moment interest rates start to rise. It is inevitable interest rates will rise given the inflationary pressures building in the economy and the exploding price of commodities in global markets caused in part by the collapse of the US dollar due to Obama's loonytoons monry printing policies.

Lord Young was of course insensitive to say what he did while an adviser to the government. Many people are suffering because of the recession. Many more are worried because their jobs are not secure or they are unable to find decent housing because the mortgage drought is forcing up the price of rental accomodation to unaffordable levels.

The nation is in a much bigger mess than anybody is prepared to say. What pisses me off about Labour's attacks on Lord Young however is the mess was entirely caused by their finncial irresponsibility. Ironically it is the working class and particularly the young working class, the support of whom is Labour's raison d'etre who are suffering mot from their incompetence in government.

The middle classes whose votes Labour bought ("We a very relaxed about people getting stinking rich":- Tony Blair) are the ones Lord Young was referring to who have never had it so good. Unfortunately they eventually found Labour's authoritarianism and obsession with minority rights unpalatable and returned to the Tories.

Did anyone really think, did you really really think that throwing Labour out and letting in the Conservative led coalition would change anything.

I have said before it is time to abandon the party system, remember that the UK constitution requires thata Member of Parliament's principle loyalties are to the nation and to their consituents. Party loyalty does not even get into the starting line up.

We must hope enough Lib Dems are prepared to make a stand on this and bring their leaders to heel. Otherwise we may see the Lib Dems obliterated at the next election and the only availbale coalitions to Labour and Conservatives, neither of which can ever again be trusted to rule alone being to seek support from Greens, UKIP, the Nationalists, Siin Fein or the Democratic Unionists.

Children Are Bring Given Chemical Cosh For Shyness

Children are being prescribed mind-altering chemical cosh drugs for conditions such as shyness and mild social anxiety, behaviour experts have warned. Young people are routinely being given medication to treat normal childhood conditions, it was claimed, despite fears over their long-term health.

The disclosure came as it emerged that the number of eight- to 13-year-olds on drugs such as Ritalin has soared seven-fold since 1997. In many cases, pupils are being put on medication amid fears from parents, teachers and doctors over a serious deterioration in their behaviour. But Dave Traxson, a senior educational psychologist who works in schools in the West Midlands, warned that normal childhood conditions like shyness...

Ed Butt comments:Ein volk. Ein Reich. Ein Bureaucracy. Naziism By Stealth.
We really must stop this bureaucratic Naziism now. The politicisation of the education system to facilitate the brainwashing of pupils with politically correct ideas and turn them into compliant, unthinking drones competely dependent on the state is bad enough. Using prescribed medication to suppress individuality however is far too much like something from the scriptwriters of The Third Reich soap opera.

Shyness, brashness and showing off, attention seeking, lack of concentration and other such inconvenient behaviour are part of childhood. A shy child might grow up to be the life and soul of the party. On the other hand they could continue to be reserved and not comfortable in large gatherings. Lack of concentration might indicate a child is thick (not a crime last time I checked), has a learning problem or is in fact an unusually bright child who is simply bored shitless by lessons.

Children are as individual as adults. The world would be poorer if we lost Mr. Showbiz types or Chess grandmasters or the Waqyne Rooney, Brian Cox and Frankie Boyles of the next generation to the desire of bureucrats to creat a race of identical beings and the willingness of science to assist in achieving that goal.

In recent years we have heard of plans to put anti depressants and cholesterol lowering drugs in drinking water, to make certain vaccines compulsory, to withdraw health care from people suspected of not eating healthily, smoking, using recreational drugs or drinking more than the recommended intake of alcohol.

All this interference with our ability to make choices from free will is justied by the claim it is for our own good. But can the powers that be vaccinate us against old age, can they produce selective drugs that target only those who need them (SSRI anti depressants can have a very detrimental effect on people who are not suffering from depression and low cholesterol can be as dangeous as high)

We must make a stand against this creeping Naziism now. We must halt the advance of bureaucratic authoritarianism.

University Bosses Become Fat Cats As Student Fees Rise

The pay packets of Britains university heads rocketed by as much as a fifth last year, just as institutions lobbied for a huge hike in student tuition fees. More than 950 university staff, including all vice-chancellors, were paid more than the Prime Minister  an eight per cent increase on the year before.

One senior administrator at Oxford was given a salary of almost Ł600,000, thought to be the highest-paid university post in the country. Last night, the disclosure prompted claims that universities were showing an arrogant disregard for public opinion. It comes just weeks after ministers backed plans to triple the cap on student tuition fees from just over ... read full story

Xavier Conolly comments: I lecture at degree level in a college that offers degree studies by distance learning and can only say that over the years since I left my first career as an engineer in the private sector I have watched the university system turned into a job creation scheme for people who could not hack it in industry.

Empire building in higher education is rife as is nest feathering and now in the wake of student riots as left wing malcontents tried to use the proposed increase in tuition fees as a means of destabilising the coalition government, we see the real culprits were not the Conservative and Liberal Democrat ministers but the greedy, self serving university administrators who lobbied for the increase.

Once upon a time, as all good fairy tales begin, higher education was a higher plane of existence. Now, thanks more to Labour policies over the past thirteen years and the senseless obsession with targets, statistics and league tables, the folly of making universities run themselves as businesses has caused the adoption of attitudes we associate with capitalism red in tooth and claw to infiltrate the academic world.

It seems that education will in future take second place to the ambitions of managers. Academics these days are overwhelmingly left wing, deficit loving, public sector expanding, new world orderists. Let's hope the voters catch on to who was really responsible for the need to increase tuition fees. It was not the coalition though we will have much to blame them for by the time we next elect a government. In this case however the culprits are Labour and the Academics.

Wealthy Nation Lifestyle Links To UK's High Cancer Rates

by Ed Butt

Women in Britain are more likely to be be diagnosed with breast cancer than those in most other developed countries because of their unhealthy lifestyles, according to a new study.

Analysis of data collected by the respected World Health Organisation shows Britain has higher rates of the potentially fatal disease than the USA, Australia, Germany and Spain.
In only 10 of the 50 countries assessed by the researchers do women have a higher chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer than those in the UK.

Commenting on the new study Professor Martin Wiseman, medical and scientific adviser for the World Cancer Research Fund, said: We know that people in high-income countries are more likely to be overweight, to drink a lot of alcohol and to be inactive. When you look at the list, it is clear that the countries that do worse for these factors tend to be nearer the top."

High incidence of certain cancers in the UK and other high-income countries are not inevitable and lifestyle changes can make a real difference to peoples risk, the study suggests.

Sarah Woolnough, Cancer Research UKs director of policy, said: We do know that up to half of all cancers could be prevented by changes to lifestyle such as giving up smoking, keeping a healthy weight and cutting down on alcohol. People can also reduce their risk by eating a healthy balanced diet that is high in fibre, fruit and vegetables and low in red and processed meat.

All these things, along with taking regular exercise and avoiding sunburn, can reduce the risk of developing cancer.

While any attempt to find ways of reducing suffering is laudable we see once again here how health care has been turned into an industry. The Pharmaceutical companies that profit from the drugs that cure diseases or alleviate symptoms either own or are owned by the chemical companies that profit from making food additives, fertilizers and industrial chemicals which are known to be cancer causing agents but which find their way into our bodies by design or by chance.

That is ignored however and the blame for the incidence in cancers is put on us, the ordinary people and our degenerate lifestyles. We drink too much, do not eat enough fruit and vegetables, we are idle and use various recreational drugs. And when we are warned of yet another pandemic we refuse to get vaccinated (this might of course be because we ignored the previous pandemic warnings and were all killed by AIDS, Mad Cow Disease, MRSA, Bird Flu, fish flu, wombat flu etc.)

Well we know that when it became obvious the Swine Flu pandemic was not happening the World Health Organisation changed the definition of pandemic from "In many nations millions will be seriously ill and hundreds of thousands will die," to "In some obscure and sparsely populated third world country a few people will feel a bit poorly.

I've been wondering however, if three cases of Swine Flu constitutes an pandemic why is there no talk of a cancer pandemic caused by man made chemicals in our bodies.

Could it be the agenda of certain vested interests contains a plan to spread enough fear and panic that we will all easily persuaded to swallow enough of the shite they want to put in our bodies to ensure we are dead before we reach seventy?

After all one of the problems The New World Order fears most is the exponential growth of the proportion of old people in the population and the associated dementia time bomb. The cost of providing for the old when more than half the population are past retirement age and the added cost of one on one care for those no longer able to look after themselves turns all the economic forecasts inside out.

Flu Deaths Hit Fifty This Year

GM Food Needed To Avert World Food Crisis

by Ian R. Thorpe

The GM Foods Nazis are revving up for a good whine again. Professor Sir John Beddington said there was no scientific qick fix to the ''enormously serious'' problem of producing enough fod to feed the world's rapidly growing population in the future as we face problems such as climate change, population growth and energy shortages.

He told BBC Breakfast News: ''If there are genetically modified (GM) organisms that actually solve problems that we can't solve in other ways, and are shown to be safe from a human health point of view, and safe from an environmental point of view, and they can solve problems we can't solve otherwise, then we should use them. 'The sort of problems I am thinking of are new diseases which are likely to come with climate change, problems to do with drought, problems to do with the salination of ground, we need organisms that actually address that.''

Sir John was referring to the publication of a Government-commissioned report warning that massive co-ordinated action is needed to avert global hunger on a huge scale in the future.

Factors such as a rapidly growing populations in developing nations, climate chaos, depletion of ground water and energy reserves will all put even greater pressure on food production, the report will warn.

There is no hope of finding alien life in space because conditions on all other planets are too hostile, a leading astronomer has claimed. This goes against recent, almost hysterical claims from research grant phishing astrophysicists who claim the 'photographs of neighbouring galaxies' (in fact CGI images constructed from measurements of radiation coming in from certain parts of outer space) have 'proved' 'the truth is out there' and there could be many planets capable of supporting life in the closest galaxy alone. This closes galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy, is two and a half million light years away which means light emitted from there now will not be seen on earth for two and a half million years.

Light travels at an estimated 186,000 miles per second, about 25,000 times faster than the fastest space vehicle humans have so far made. So if we set off now, with current technology we would reach the Andromeda galaxy in 67.5 million years time. I know life expectancy is increasing but not that much.

Howard Smith, a senior astrophysicist at Harvard, made the claim that we are alone in the universe after an analysis of the 500 planets discovered so far showed all were hostile to life.

Dr Smith said the extreme conditions found so far on planets discovered outside out Solar System are likely to be the norm, and that the hospitable conditions on Earth could be unique. We have found that most other planets and solar systems are wildly different from our own. They are very hostile to life as we know it, he said.

He pointed to stars such as HD10180, which sparked great excitement when it was found to be orbiter by a planet of similar size and appearance to Earth. But the similarities turned out to be superficial. The planet lies less than two million miles from its sun, meaning it is roasting hot, stripped of its atmosphere and blasted by radiation.

Now this is a big assumption. The Universe is claimed to consist of approximately 100 million galaxies each containing a hundred billion stars. Don't ask me who counted, but maybe we should put that person on our first intergalactic space probe as they would have to have cracked the immortality thing. So Dr. Smith is basing his calculation on a tiny sample of stars that have orbiting planets.

There are many sciencyheads (people who are so addicted to science their brains are addled by the obsession.) Science is their religion and they are determined to suppress the questioning of people still enough in possession of our mental faculties to be healthily sceptical of anyone who tries to win their agruement by the appeal to a higher authority; "This is Science, no intelligent person would question it."

As such a sceptic, and a horse racing enthusiast I have to say that having analysed the form scientifically my opinion is to give these 'scientists the kind of research funding they are asking for in the hope of seeing a return would be like betting one's life savings on a three legged horse in the Derby.

John de Roe comments:
The Daily Stirrer has commented on the inflationary pressures building in the economy, the stagnant unemployment figures and rising food and fuel prices. It is unbelievable that the economists at The Bank of England and The Treasury could have been so optimistic about recovery, even more unbelieveable that interest rates could have beek kept so insanely low for so long when the cheap money was obviously not filtering through to the small businesses that needed it.

That the economy should be sliping back towards recession should surprise nobody except the incompetents who are in charge of the economy.

GM Frankenfoods versus Thomas Malthus.

Yesterday we commented GM Food Needed To Avert World Food Crisis
The GM Foods Nazis are revving up for a good whine again. Professor Sir John Beddington said there was no scientific quick fix to the ''enormously serious'' problem of producing enough fod to feed the world's rapidly growing population in the future as we face problems such as climate change, population growth and energy shortages. He told BBC Breakfast News: ''If there are genetically modified (GM) organisms that actually ...

Its nice to see two classic scientific scare stories facing off. Weve read a lot about both over the years, and both have been the subject of a lot of media-led panic, and now theyre being set against each other in a battle to the death. Its a bit like Alien vs Predator, except its real life. Frankenfoods vs Thomas Malthus.

Yes, Professor Sir John Beddington, the chief science adviser to the government, has suggested that genetically modified (GM) crops are our best hope to keep the growing population of the world fed. In 20 years time, the world population is going to be sky high, demand for food, demand for water, demand for energy, is going to be way up there, he told the BBC.

The population of Africa is scheduled to double over the next 20 years. We need to be thinking about making agriculture more effective, dealing with the problems of water, dealing with the problem of energy.

Theres no one simple solution. GM may be the answer for certain problems.

People have been predicting the worlds population outrunning our ability [ .read full story]

In reply to Chivers usual "Science Is The Messiah" sermon The Daily Stirrer's Ian R Thorpe comments:
I wish you 'science' fanatics would rid yourself of the delusion that science has a magic wand.

The face off with GM foods is often between yield and durability. You seldom get higher yield and better resistance to drought and disease from one process. In fact achieving one often comes at the expense of another.

GM crops are still mostly water but also need nutrients. More of the crop means more water and more nutrients (fertilizer) are needed to make more vegetable matter.

Reserves of ground water are depleting rapidly, overuse of chemical fertilizers are blamed for polluting those water reserves in many places.

As GB Shaw said, "Science is always wrong, for every problem it solves it creates two.

So to rephrase your question (equally sensationally) to readers, "Would you rather starve or die of thirst?"

Bank Of England Warns Living Standards Will Fall Dramatically

Households face the most dramatic squeeze in living standards since the 1920s, the Governor of the Bank of England warned, as he reacted to the shock disclosure that the economy was shrinking again.

Families will see their disposable income eaten up as they pay the inevitable price for the financial crisis, Mervyn King warned.

With wages failing to keep pace with rising inflation, workers take- home pay will end the year worth the same as in 2005  the most prolonged fall in living standards for more than 80 years, he claimed.

Mr King issued the warning in a speech in Newcastle upon Tyne after official figures showed that gross domestic product fell by 0.5 per cent during the final three months last year. The Government blamed the unexpected reduction ...

read more:Bank Of England Says Living Standards To FallBritain Still Vulnerable To Double Dip RecessionComment by Ian R Thorpe:
The news today that UK economic performance is slipping back into recesssion comes as no surprise. In fact we have never been out of recession since 2008, even if the official inflation figures were anywhere near correct and in spite of the $billions pumped into the banking system by Gordon Brown the UK economy has not grown at a higher rate than inflation during any accounting period.

In effect this means the economy is shrinking in real terms, a view that will be understood by most householders as they plan their monthly budget.

At the same time we are still borrowing money each month to finance the burgeoning deficit and yet still lending at insanely low interest rates to the banks so they can buy the government bonds that will cripple any infant recovery with interest payments.

Talk of a dounle dip recession is misleading. We are still in the first dip.

The addle brained stoners who cling to the belief that Barack Hussein Obama (real name Barry Soetoro) can walk on water are praising him for 'inpiring the oppressed people of the Islamic nations to rise up and throw off the yoke of tryanny.' It is a phrase so cliched and meaningless it could have been voined by Bammy himself except that he never has written anything by himself. Reading, rather poorly it must be said, from an autocue, is all he does.

What the priests and followers of The Cult Of The Obamessiah are not mentioning is that in all these Obama inspired rebellions against tyrants who are usually quite well disposed towards the west, the alternative government that are emerging are Islamic fundamentalists who are hostile to western culture and business and intent on setting up Islamist Theocracies.

Figures from the Department of Education show the number of graduates applying for secondary teacher training courses strting in September is 9.3 per cent lower than at the same time lasy year.

To make the situation worse teacher training in certain key subjects is struggling even more to attact new career entrants. Applications for places on Mathematics teaching courses are down by 14 per cent, while demand for science has dropped by 18 per cent.

Other subjects are experiencing an even more more dramatic decline, with applications to teach design and technology down by 38 per cent. Demand for business studies courses has dropped by 26 per cent.

Officials in the Education department fear the slump numbers of people interested in teaching as a career could leave schools with a shortage of teachers in some subjects  forcing them to put classes in the hands of staff lacking in expertise.

The Daily Stirrer says if the government is serious about reversing this decline they must first get Politically Correct thinking out of the classroom and then be brave enough to give teachers back the authority to enforce disciplie in classes.

Ed Butt comments:
Although this situation is very dangerous for world peace and economic stability it is quite amusing to watch addle brained lefties in Britain and America cheering the Arabs for throwing off the yoke of authoritarian tyranny and moving towards Obama style, New Labour style 'participative democracy' (i.e. the government tells you what to do and you participate through your unquestioning obedience.

Do these ideologically brainwashed fools not realise the only sufficiently well organised group capable of taking part in free elections in Egypt is the Islamic Brotherhood. Their vision for Egypt's political future is as an Islamic theocracy like the one which emerged in Iran after the Americans had stirred up a revolution.

Make no mistake, this nastiness on the Nile is Barack Obama's baby. The jug eared streak of piss who imagines himself President of The Entire Universe And Everything Else Besides made a much hailed but very ill advised speech in Cairo which sent the message to dissidents and malcontents in the middle east that if they rebelled America would support them. Now the imbecile President may well be a closet Muslim, a closet gay and a closet British citizen according to some of his critics but he certainly is, as has ben demonstrated, a terrorist loving revolution loving, Western civilisation hating Trotskyite.

And like most Trots, Obama is an arrested adolescent. He loves the excitement of revolution just as he loves signing new, unpopular acts of Congress into law. But he loathes and fears responsibility and so dithers and tries to blame everyone else when he is called upon to show leadership.

That is why the Egyptian crisis can only end badly for the west. The Arabs know Obama will not act. Russia and China, both busy extending their influence in Africa know Obama will cave in as soon as they stand up to him. One thing we have to acknowledge about George W. Bush is the God bothering, trigger happy son of a bitch would have protected western interests even if he had to blow up the whole middle east to do so.

Obama will call for talks. And while he is talking the wests competitors will be shafting him.

Researchers Discover Protien Protacts Against Prostate Cancer

by Xavier Connolly

We have always been pretty sceptical about 'science', particulary the kind that substitutes theory, speculation and mathematical modelling for observation and demonstrable results. For this position we have often been criticised, refered to as 'young earth creationists' (we are all atheists actually) and told that as we are not scientists we cannot understand science.

The first thing that made us suspicious of the people who talk about 'science' is the way they overuse the word, just as fundamentalist Christians say Jesus far more thn they need to. Yes, for many people science has become a religion.

That is not to say however that there is no longer any good work being done by researchers. Here's a story that shows the best advances are bing made by people using a more traditional approach to their research.

Protien that protacts against prostate cancer
The Imperial College London team found that a protein called FUS inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells in the laboratory. Patients with higher FUS levels also tended to live longer and have less aggressive cancers, they discovered. Prostate cancer kills 10,000 men in Britain a year. Current hormonal therapies only work for a limited time while chemotherapy is often ...

Now that's the kind of science we like. Simple, straightforward and offering tangible benefits rather than pie in the sky science fiction stuff.

Would You Eat Meat Grown From Grey Goo?

by Ian R. Thorpe

And folowing that example (above) of good science here's an example of the science we at the Daily Stirrer do not like.

(Reuters) In a small laboratory on an upper floor of the basic science building at the Medical University of South Carolina, Vladimir Mironov, M.D., Ph.D., has been working for a decade to grow meat.A developmental biologist and tissue engineer, Dr. Mironov, 56, is one of only a few scientists worldwide involved in bioengineering "cultured" meat.
It's a product he believes could help solve future global food crises resulting from shrinking amounts of land available for growing meat the old-fashioned way ... on the hoof. Growth of "in-vitro" or cultured meat is also under way in ... Read all:American Scientist Reveals Lab Grown Meat

What's wrong with this race to grow meat in laboratories is it meets no human need but only serves corporate and political greed. When the scientists talk of harm done to the environment by the traditional 'on the hoof' method of growing high protein, high energy food (meat) they use the usual scientific trick of reductionism. They only look at one tiny aspect of the problem.

We know that beef cattle are destructive grazers and pasture once grazed by domestic cattle takes a long time to recover. We know that deforestation carried out to provide extra grazing land so that Big AgriBiz can meet the growing demand for meat harms the environment.

What we are not told is what would the carbon footprint be for the huge, half acre sheds stacked with high tech machinery that would be needed to create edible food products from grey goo.

What we are not told is why alternative meat supplies are not being developed from animals that do not need such rich pasture and are not such destructive grazers. The North American Bison is equipped by evolution to do well on the poor, fibrous grasses of central uplands in the USA and Canada. Reindeer (Caribou) give us delicious meats and are equipped by evolution to thrive in the arctic conditions of northern Canada and Alaska, Siberia and northern Scandinavia. African Wldebeeste are ideally suited to the harsh environments of that continent, so much so they have to be culled. Again they are a good food source. These vast, unused land areas could be put to good use and thousands of jobs created for agricultural workers instead of a handful of jobs for white coated pointy heads to supervise armies of machines.

There is no doubt that the laboratory grown meat would be perfectly wholesome and fit for human consumption. The question mark that hangs over projects like this belongs behind the great question Cui Bono? Who benefits?

We must start putting the needs of humanity ahead of the need for power and control of corporations and the craving for fame and admiration of scientists. There are a million better, cheaper ways of solving this problem than by growing our food in giant petri dishes in industrial big shed laboratories. So the whole project is another costly, pointless exercise in control freakery.

No major UK political party has a coherent plan to cut immigration.
As the election creeps nearer, and latest figures show immigration has gone out of control again, it is clear UKIP is the only party willing to address the issue. The Liberal democrats would simply open the doors and dismantle all controls, while Convervative and Labour leaders mouth empty promises but are too afraid of being tagged 'racist' to act.

Why are people sceptical about climate change?
Forget the leftie hate mobs for the moment, ignore their claims that 'the science is settled' and any talk of 'the scientific consensus, there is a lot more to the debate than simple minded science worshippers will admit. Which explains of course why they are so desperate to suppress open discussion of the issue.

Dr. Offit, Vaccine Pusher in Chief is exposed as a liar.
Some time ago my editor-in-chief was the target of hate attacks by left wing sheeple for questioning the effectiveness of vaccines as anything but profit drivers for Big Pharma. Well Ian has thick skin so he was quite pleased to have provoked a few death threats. One of his targets howver was Dr. Offit who had famously said new born babies could have 10,000 vaccines at the same time without suffering harm. He has not fared so well, having become an object of ridicule.

Europe Fractures: France Pivots To Putin, Cyprus Offers Moscow Military Base and Germany-US Splinter On Ukraine
Yesterdayâs news reports did the usual whitewash job in reporting the the Minsk Summit which aimed to thrash out a Ukraine âpeaceâ deal. Mainstream media gives the impression that the US / EU / NATO alliance are solid in their defence of Ukraine following the CIA engineered coup last year, in reality the various parties involved appear to be flying apart faster than the fragments of shell casing from missiles exploding at they strike targets on Donetsk.

America Is Being Destroyed
A guest post today from USA based writer and poet, Vic Damico. We have written many times of the harm being done to the cultural and social structure of Western Europe's developed nations by the determination of the elites to crush true cultural diversity and replace it with a politically correct monoculture in which differences in skin colour and sexual preference replace diversity of ideas, philosophies and lifestyles.

A Monster From The Past Wreaks Havoc - Cthulhu? Yog Sothoth? Snow?
It was a thing from the past they said, a monster from the paleo - darkness that by 2010 would be made extinct by the downside of progress and never return to afflict children growing up today. It would die because of climate change, they said, and the world would be as if it had never existed. And the Ice Dragon would be slain and disappear from ...

Putin Isolated? What about his new best mates France and Germany

Paedophilia normal in human males? Is it really Professor?
Regular readers of this blog will not need to be reminded that we donât have much time for academics. For the most part they tend to be useless individuals who couldnât hold down jobs as shelf stackers or burger flippers were they forced to live in the real world. Due to the bizarre way our education system assess human intelligence however,

Labour's Multicultural, Utopian Paradise?
Boggart Bloggers had a good idea what the Rotherham sex abuse report, published yesterday, was going to contain for quite a while.

Another Conspiracy Theory Becomes Fact: Oil Collapse Is All About Obama's Proxy War With Russia.
While we are distracted with sex scandals at home and terrorists rampaging through the middle east and Africa, the US / EU / NATO confrontation with Russia / China / Iran is geting into a very dangerous state.

GM babies? How About The Frankenstein Lobby Try A Bit Of Honesty And Call It Eugenics
As the British Parliament debated legalising the use of techniques to create three parent babies and the dishonest champions of scientific fascism claim is is a perfectly safe development to remove faulty genes from humanity and in no way similar to programs with the same aim carried out in Nazi Germany, we challenge them to be honest and admit what they propose is Eugenics, a morally repugnant quest to create a master race. And all three main political parties support it.

Obama Lubes Up And Bends Over To Service The Worst Corporate Tax Dodgers
Obama was always the corporate candidate. It is any wonder then that under his presidency, in spite of promises to redistribute wealth from rich to poor, the wealth gap between rich and poor has grown immensely wider? Is it any wonder that under his presidency the anti democracy trade deals TTIP and TPP are being pushed on the world, even though they will benefit the worst corporate tax dodgers?

Google Driverless Car Project - there are still a few snags to be ironed out
We said when it was first announced nearly a year ago that the Google driverless car was a non starter. It was not just the fact that Mercedes are miles ahead, nor Google's lack off attachment to reality. It was not the obvious (to those who have worked in the industry) tchnical problems, but the fact that people don't like giving control to machines that will scupper it. Oh and the insurance problems.

High Class Prostitutes Are Used As Bribes In Business Deals.
Shock, horror!

The Death Of Democracy - Lobbying For TTIP
For some years now I and my libertarian friends in the blogosphere have been warning that democracy in the west is under threat, elected governments having been infiltrated by lobbyists working for a corporate elite. These lobbyists, who have no official status but plenty of money available for 'hospitality' (graft, payola, slush, bribery, incentivizing, call it what you will) ...

Secret âBADASSâ Intelligence Program Used To Spy On Smartphones.
Oh what a laugh, what a grin, those kool dudes who strut around with their iPhones clamped to their ear to show us that they paid $500 for a phone they could hsve bought for $150 had they been willing to do without the little Apple logo, and those who bought smart phones because, well everybody who is anybody has one, have been well and truly had.

For some years now we have been warning that democracy in the west is under threat, elected governments having been infiltrated by lobbyists working for a corporate elite. These lobbyists, who have no official status but plenty of money available for 'hospitality' to help them enlist the support of corrupt officials â but more and more often these days, prominent scientists, 'special advisers' and former politicians who are happy to sell their reputation.

The NHS doctors who get cash from healthcare firms for patient referrals
An investigation revealed incentives, often worth tens of thousands of pounds, have been offered to doctors by private healthcare companies in exchange for referring patients to their hospitals. The British Medical Journal reported claims that the doctorsâ regulator, the General Medical Council (GMC), failed to act on a warning in 2012 that the practice of offering incentives was âwidespread, particularly in London, and significant in valueâ.

Regulatory Cooperationâ and TTIP: Opening The Floodgates For Corporate PlunderA new leak concerning the talks around the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) indicates that the floodgates could be opened even further for corporate influence.

The European Union May Be on the Verge of Regime Collapse
Europe won the Cold War and looked set to become the global superpower. So where did it all go wrong?
Not long after the Berlin Wall fell a quarter of a century ago, the Soviet Union collapsed, the United States squandered its peace dividend in an attempt to maintain global dominance, and Europe quietly became more prosperous, more integrated, and more of a player in international affairs. Between ...

The age of financial privacy is overYes you read that right. The fascist regime in the USA has usurped to itself the right to raid bank accoutns anywhere is the world.

Transhumanism - Elitist and Mad Scientist Collaboration To Turn Us Into Automatons.
Transhumanism: there are two definitions, the production of human animal hybrids with the aim of producing superhuman creatures and the merging of humans with machines as a shortcut to creating programmable decives with human instinct, logic and congnitive skills. Neither promises any benefit to humankind in the view of those of us who believe only the natural human being can fulfill individual potential.

From Keynesian Shangri-La To Outright War
Over the last few weeks drum beats could be heard signalling the coming of troops from abroad to lay waste to any foe ahead of them. However, unlike what we first conjure up as troops from an opposing force made up of men and weapons. This battlefield is being waged in the either of the currency markets.

Everything You Need To Know About The Greek Crisis.
Those people who think I have suddenly become a right wing extremist because I have been supporting UKIP's anti - EU, anti - Global Government stance and their resistance to the political mainstreams war on European cultures by be surprised to know that I was hoping for the Greek General Election to deliver a convincing victory for left-wing party Syriza.

Greece Votes On Whether Its People Have Any Future
The voters of Greece will choose today, whether their country, the cradle of democracy, has a future of not. They are voting in a general election which could result in Greece trying to renegotiate the terms of its bailout with international lenders and even quitting the EU if the expected victory for hard line left wing party Syriza.
The leader of Syriza, Alexis Tsipras, has pledged to write off much of Greece's huge debt and revoke austerity measures ...

Democracy: Does It have A Future Or Has Global Totalitarianism Won?
The General Election in Greece (January 2014) could have much wider effects than most elections in small nation, the vote could decide the future of the European Union and have a major breaing on whether democracy can survive the push towards government by a global, corporate oligarchy. It look like being an interesting few months if the anti - EU party wins as polls suggest they will.

People Are Waking Up To The Fact That The European Union Is On The Fast Track To Fascism.
Greece has a General Election and it looks as if the anti - EU, extreme left Syriza party will win comfortably. In previous elections that went against the Euronazis in Brussels, the democracy hating bureaucrats simply told the sovereign government of the member nation that the vote was not acceptable. If their try to overturn the Greek result in the same way it will trigger massive civil unrest.

German Anti-Islamisation Marches: What the Mainstream Media Doesnât Want You to Know
For people who rely for news on mainstream media, what is increasingly known in Germany as the âliar pressâ (Luegenpresse), the narrative that the racist, anti Islam protestors have turned nasty might stick. And when the reports throw in salacious details about the former leader of this movement and his colourful past, or the tragic death of an immigrant man who was killed shortly after a demonstration in Dresden last week, the pro immigrant propaganda starts to look like the voice of reason.

So Who's Making Up Innuendos About Leon Brittan
The rumor mill has gone to warp speed following the death of alleged dossier - shredder Leon Brittan. Bizarrely his friend Lord Deben seems to think the various allegations raging from Brittan's role in covering up the activities of a Westminster paedophile ring, to his actual involvement in sexual abuse of children only originated recently.

The Death Of Democracy - Are The Elites Running Scared From Public Opinion
When did democracy go out of fashion. I don't remember voting on whether we wanted to give up our civil liberties or be ruled by a dictatorship of unelected bureaucrats from Brussels, but that is where we are heading, along with the other free nations of Europe. And the USA, so-called land of the free is further along the road to fascism than Europe.

Googleâs Eric Schmidt Greases Skids For Internet Brain Chip Google CEO Eric Schmidt greased the skids for an Internet brain chip during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland earlier today when he predicted the end of the world wide web as an external concept.

Why the war on CO2 has done far more harm than good
Warmageddonists send a lot of time screeching and scaremongering about the potpentially catastrophic outcomes of increased atmospheric CO2 levels, exaggerating their claims wildly in order to frighten people into supporting their war on the oil and coal industries. Policies formulated to tackle the imaginary threat of anthropogenic climate change have ...

Researchers Discover How to Use Living Plants to Generate Electricity.
Most of the hyped green energy solutions to generate electricity from wind or sunshine are so obviously flawed the only thing that makes them economically viable is that governments offer huge subsidies to generators. This in turn makes the sustainables so expensive that consumers cannot afford the intermittent energy they produce.

Top anti-GMO scientists band together in film exposing threats and secrecy.

Je Suis Saussice (in defence of your right to eat pork sausages)
Just as we showed solidarity with the publishers of Charlie Hebdo magazine after twelve staff were murdered by religious extremists and defended the right of citizens in democratic nations to criticize religion by saying "Je Suis Charlie" so we are now making a stand in support of the freedom to eat sausages (which is an abomination to Allah apparently,) by saying "Je Suis Saussice".

Trade Treaties Fast Track Not A Done Deal, The People Will Stop It
The fast tracking of two trade treaties, TTIP and TPP that the corporate gofor, President Barack Hussein Obama, is pushing in the hope that the deals, will enable him to complete the task he was shoehorned into office for by transferring control of national laws from elected governments to corporate lawyers, looks to be stalling.

Weâre told this week that Washingtonâs National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationâs National Climatic Data Center (NOAA) had finally crunched its numbers for 2014, and Al Gore is a very happy man, as are the armies of amateur climate experts who take government scientific announcements as gospel.

Could 'DNA editing' lead to designer babies?
Designer babies, human / animal hybrids, these things have been in wet dream territory for scientists for a long time. But now due to techniques such as DNA editing, they are getting worryingly close to reality. And as has been demonstrated many times, scientists have zero uderstanding of where the ethical boundaries lie.

Believe The Phoney Narrative Or Be Branded a Conspiracy Theorist.
Right now the west is in big trouble, the move led by Russia and China to dump the petrodollar as global currency has provoked the Americans to lead the wesern allies into an economic war that we cannot win. Why not? One word: debt. A shooting war is the only option but it's by no means certain the allies would win that.

Seventy Years Down The Line And We Have Come Back To Appeasement As A Means To Peace.
As a spate of increasingly bloody and violent attacks on civilized values and the democratif freedoms of the western nations (free speech for example) continues to cause revulsion among the general population, our spineless leader are calling on us to be tolerant. The cowardly hypocrites who lead us may be ready to surrender, but anger is mounting in the cities and towns.

Russia throws down the gauntlet: energy supply to Europe cut off; petrodollar abandoned as currency war escalates
There are some big moves taking place on the global stage that you need to know about, as this could all lead to World War III. Yesterday Russia cut off its natural gas supply to Europe, "plunging the continent into an energy crisis 'within hours' as a dispute with Ukraine escalated," the Daily Mail reported.

Europeâs Intensifying Immigration Debate
In an absolutely gobsmacking psychological meltdown and an unparalleled display of bourgeois self hate, the former Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt demonstrated how wide the gap between the political and academic elite and reality has become in the materially advanced democracies.

âUncaged Corporate Parrotsâ Of The Political Elite and The GMO False Narrative
The Environment Secretary in the UK Coalition Government, Elizabeth Truss has argued that genetically modified (GM) food should be grown in Britain because it is more âeco-friendlyâ. She adds that steps should be taken to speed up this development. Her statements come as little surprise to many because Trussâs predecessor, Owen Paterson, was also a staunch supporter of GM technology.

Earthâs CO2 Levels Pass Global Warming âMilestone', Nothing Happens - Daily Caller.After two decades of panic stricken scientists and screeching lefties wailing about the catatrophe that would ensue once the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere passed 400 parts per million, that figure was reached in December 2014. No islands sank, no ice caps disappeared, no cities were incinerated. Which is pretty much what those of us who recognize the science of scaremongering when we see it predicted would happen.

Whoâs a Charlie? France cracks down on free speech in order to defend it
In grim and supreme irony, French police have fanned out to suppress free speech in order to defend it.âFrance ordered prosecutors around the country to crack down on hate speech, anti-Semitism and glorifying terrorism, announcing Wednesday that 54 people had been arrested for those offensesâ since last week, the Associated Press reports.

Economist: World Leaders Will Exploit Charlie Hebdo to Eliminate Internet Privacy
Economist Martin Armstrong warns that the twin attacks in France will be used by world leaders to push for restrictions on Internet privacy and the total elimination of encrypted communications.

Oxford University Bans All Things Pig Related In Support Of Free Speech
When does being reasonable and open minded become cowardice? When academics who pride themselves on intellectual detachment cave in to threats from extremists and try to pass off their pitiful weakness by pretending they are showing sensitivity to the feelings of minorities.

While the world has been looking the other way, Boko Haram has been conquering Nigeria

Insane Science Pushing The Earth Towards Ecocide.
At the Daily Stirrer we have suspected it for a log time, science is insane, a game for the ethically challenged and sociopathic to compete to be first to develop a new plague, or a death ray, or to trash the enviromnent in pursuit of political power or corporate profits for their paymasters. There's even a name for what they are doing now, Ecocide.

A Republic Always Decays Into Oligarchy. Here's Why
Almost a rehash of Schumpeter's warning, that capital alwaysd contains the seeds of its own destruction while socialism always leads to fascism. I guess the old Austrian economist was trying to tel us the only thing that works is chaos. I can live with that.

France sees dozens of anti-Muslim incidents.
No doubt our leaders and the media will condemn the backlash from ordinary French people to the Charlie Hebdo massacre. Random attacks on decent Muslims are wrong. but how long do the elites expect us to keep showing tolerance when they have done nothing about a long standing problem.

The Debt Ponzi Deconstructed
Most of us are familiar with the concept of GDP as a measure of economic health. If GDP increases, the myth goes, then the economy has grown. It is a measure of how effectively or efficiently we are utilizing our assets to generate wealth. The idea is that the more I invest the more notional returns I can generate. Unfortunately GDP is a false economic measure, it only measures the rate at which money churns around the economic system.

In The War On Terror, Freedom Is Not Winning
While we would like to write about more positive things, protecting democracy and free speech, guiding people towards healthy lifestyles, how we the punters can save the planet (especially from the idiocies of the Warmageddonist lobby) and so on, we find far too much of our time is spent trying to get the truth about important issues in front of readers. Mainstream media has abandoned news reporting in favour of simply repeating government and corporate propaganda. Terrorism is one issue on which you will only finds out facts from new media.

Why Iceland Recovery Is Being Ignored In Mainstream NewsIceland is a small country with less that half a million people so is not a good comparison with Britain. It's recovery from near bankruptcy in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis however is due to the rejection of politically correct, globalist politics so in that light it serves to illustrate that to suggest Britain (60 million people) cannot survive outside the EU is just globalist scaremongering.

The Strange Case Of The Footballer And The Witch Hunt.
In 2011 Sheffied United footballer Ched Evans was jailed for rape, a crime he has always insisted he did not commit. Now Evans is out, having served only helf his sentence.

The Euro Is Closer To Collapse Than Anyone Cares To Admit.
A victory for the anti EU Syriza Party in the Greek elections later this month would lead to a Greek default on its massive sovereign debts. This in turn would mean Greece would have to quit the EU. And that would have massive repercussions for the major European economies and probably precipitate a global economic crisis (like the ongoing global depression isn't enough). It is going to be interesting to watch this one play out.

Labour Elite Thinks Northerners Are Thick - I Told You So
A strong feeling is starting to emerge that whatever the Labour leadeship does, the party is not going to win May's election. In spite of the unpopularity of the Conservative led coalition, the idea is taking hold that Labour is no longer the party of the working class, instead they represent professionals and academics and are thus an elitist movement.

German Chancellor Lashes Out at Anti-Islamification Marches as Support GrowsAs the tide of anti - Islamic feeling grows among the German working class has gained huge momentum since the day in October 2014 when in the city of Dresden two hundred 'like minded people' gathered to launch PEDIGA (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of Europe), a movement to defend the nationality and culture of European nations and regions.

Floating Debris Is From Missing Air Asia Jet - Or Is ItAs a wave of comment on internet news suites about the similarities between the disappearance of an AirAsia Airbus, flight QZ8501 on a routine trip from Jave to singapore and the equally inexplicable disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in the same area en route from Kuala Lumpur nine months ago, it was quite predictable that while there remains no trace of MH370, this time floating debrius and bodies have been found at the alleged crasah site.

Influential Germans Appeal Against Another War In Europe
While the mainstream media has been obsessing about the collapse in oil prices and celebrating the problems of Vladimir Putin's regime in Russia, and fanciful economic pundits have been burbling about all time high stock markets a group of prominent Germans are less concerned about mainstream sensationalism than by something that poses a much bigger threat to the immeditate future of Europe: the threat of the Obama administration pushing us into a war with Russia.

Will 2014 Go Down As The Year Propaganda Replaced Information?
Those of us who pay attention will have noticed that 2014 has topped all others for the manout of spin and propaganda spread by mainstream news organisations and government departments but also news took on a new aspect. Evidence and facts were replaced by whatever fantasy served the US and EU leadership and their corporate paymasters. Scary.

Death Of Democracy: Why We Canât Get The Government We Deserve And Vote For.
In every election campaign, in the UK, USA, Canada, Germany, France etc. politicians spout about delivering 'change'. And yet every government we elect, no matter what label they wear or what coulour the use on campaign materials, seems just the same as the last, making the same promises and mistakes. Ever wondered why?

Eight Subjects That Ought To Be Part Of The Manadtory Curriculum For Basic Education?
Should subjects like meditation and gardening be part of the school currriculum? Or as one high school in Massachusetts, USA, seems to believe, classes in analyzing conspiracy theories (if taught properly this could help students distinguish between a true conspiracy theory, a fantasy and what is legitimate questioning of official propaganda. The embedded article from Collective Evolution presents some interesting ideas.

China Stumps Up To Help Beleagured Russian Economy
As predicted in The Daily Stirrer Currency Wars page, China was never going to stand aside and let the American and Arabs governments trash the economy of its ally Russia. We knew this because several of our writers, chiefly economics expert Phil T Looker has contributed on the orchestrated attempt by Russia, China and Iran to see the US dollar replaced as the global reserve currency (the petrodollar).

Donât believe American lies about Russia
What we are seeing in western media about the currency and oil price war being waged against Russia by the Obama administration in America is not only a very subjective version of events being presented by Washington spin doctors, it ignores the fact that though the USA and EU may have imposed sanctions on Russia, China, India, Iran, Turkey, all African and south American nations and most of south east Asia are still doing business with Moscow.

Another Montauk Monster? Mystery Creature Washes Up On California Beach.
No matter how much the science tits and worshippers of reason, logic and order may hate it, the world had a habit of regularly throwing up mysteries for which there is no simple, logical explanation, for instance, several carcasses of as strange creature that looks to be a dog / seal mongrel have washed up on American beaches in the last few years. WTF is it? That's a question for the people who look after The X Files.

UN says Ebola-hit nations at risk of hunger - Al JazeeraUnited Nations officials have warned that up to one million people in West Africa are at risk of food shortgaes as nations affected by the Ebola outbreak find harvests reduced due to border closures, restrictions on and neglect of crops.

Christmas Message: Economic Recovery, Bah, Humbug
While western government economists pump out propaganda about how economic recovery is steaming ahead (in the hope of persuading consumers to take on debt ad start spending in the befief that good times are just round the corner, and politicians wallow in schadenfreude because Russia looks to be suffering) our economics experts writes about what is realy happening and why oil pices have collapsed. It isn't pretty.

A beginners Guide To Thinking For Yourself About Climate Change
Climate change has become a more fanatical and more dangerous religion that fundamentalist Christianity, Islam or Zionism. Its followers are prepared to destroy not just themselves but the entire human race and most life on earth before they will admit there is little substance in their dogmas, which are all based on 'evidence' from idols they call mathematical models, rather than on any real world evidence.

CO2 vs Temperature comparison over 400,000 years shows CO2 and warming are not linked
Scientists who are part of the 'Science Is Settled' mob are quite adamant that there is no room for discussion, that climate change is caused solely by marginally increased levels of the trace atmospheric gas Carbon Dioxide is proved beyond doubt. Unfortunately their 'proof' exists only in mathematical models, studies based on real world evidence constantly disagree

Child sex abuse inquiry in crisis as victims walk awayAlleged victims of abuse involved in the historic abuse case currently being investigated by MPs and police have advised Home Secretary Theresa May, that they are ready to withdraw support from the Government's child sex inquiry.

Obesity pill to âreplace treadmillâ being developed by Harvard University
A magic pill which burns away excess body fat has been one of the wet dreams of mad scientists for decades. Such a pill is now being developed at Harvard University. Researchers claim it could one âreplace the treadmill.â (This is daft as we still need exercise to maintain a healthy heart, muscles and bones.

Everything The Science Whores Told You About Eating Fat Was A Lie.We have been telling you so for years, but at last the world seems to be cathing up with The Daily Stirrer. Another independent study confirms that the scientists ('A sack of rogues bought and paid for with corporate gods' to paraphrase Burns) have been lying about the health risks of eating saturated fat. It's process vegetable fat, created in laboratories by scientists and other synthesized foods that damage human health.

What Would George Orwell Think Of The Screeching Left's Horror At Plans To Shrink The State.
In part one of his classic social commentary, The Road To Wigan Pier, George Orwell wrote of the grinding poverty and appalling living conditions endured by people in industrial areas. The second part, which is more revevant to the 21st Century is a rant against the superiority of the upper class 'Fabian' socialists who have hijacked the Labour movement and whose Paternal Liberalism is in almost all ways more repugnant that the uncaring attitude of the old elite.

Are you one of these "new technology rejecters"? Apparently you will be given such a label soon if you don't want GMOs or nanoparticles in your food, just as those who ask can the 1.6% contributed by human activity of the carbon dioxide that makes up 0.025% of the atmosphere really be the sole cause of the changes in our climate which has been constantly changing for millions of years before men first stood erect.

Evolution: Theory, Fact or Fiasco?
Much as I have faith in Charles Darwin's Theory Of Evolution as a feasible explanation of how diverse species originate (The Origin Of The Species) it annoys me when science fans insist "Evolution is not a theory, its a fact." Especially annoying of course is when they cite evolution to explain the origin of life on earth or the development of human intelligence. Even more annoying is their assumption that anyone questioning them is a young Earth creationist. Here are a few thoughts on some of evolution theory's inconsistencies ...

Are Humans Becoming Extinct

Migrants swarm through EU back door along Serbiaâs border with Hungary
Free movement of people within the European union would be a fine thing if the borders of EU nations were reasonably secure. It would be impossible to prevent illegal border crossings totally but that does not mean we should give up altogether. A global nation with no border controls is one of the sacred cows of the elite cultural Marxists who run the EU of course.

A few months ago the European Union gave new meaning to the phrase stimulus spending when it began requiring its member states to start incorporating illicit activitiesâincluding drug dealing, prostitution, pimping and illegal alcohol and cigarette salesâwhen calculating the size of their economies ... The Netherlands already counted the cash generated by legal marijuana sales in its national accounts. Germany, where prostitution is legal, tallied up the money from sex work.

UK General Election, 2015: David Cameron Hugged A Hoodie but Nobody Wants To Hug A Tory.
So far, no matter what the political leaders do, the public are not responding to electioneering. The biggest losers from this disengagement with establishment politics are likely to be David Cameron's Conservatives who ned a five point lead over Labour to be un with a chance. So are the polls being distorted by the UKIP effect or is something more significant going on?

Migrants swarm through EU back door along Serbiaâs border with Hungary
Tens of thousands of migrants from the Middle East, Africa and Kosovo have been flooding in a torrent this year to Serbiaâs border with Hungary, hoping to cross illegally into the European Union nation and flee west to a better life? Sorry I thought the P C left said it was official the west was the most evil place on the planet and third world shitholes are wonderful.

What the BRICS plus Germany are really up to in the Currency Wars?
The move led by Russia and China to dump the Petrodollar has escalated into a currency war, not the kind of war we assciate Obama with but give him time. Some wars as in Ukraine, by proxy are not going so well. Others, like the one against Islamic State aka ISIS aka ISIL in the middle east are going worse. Disintegration of The American Economic Empire is manifesting itself in moves by wannabe global players towards creating a multipolar world ...

The Forgotten War â Understanding The Incredible Debacle Left Behind By NATO In Libya
The FUKUS axis intervention in Libya, led by US President Barack Obama, with help from David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy as leadsers of UK and France, was an abject failure judged even by the standards of American foreign policy incompetence. Libya not only failed to evolve into the democracy we were told it would become once Gaddafi was gone, it has devolved into a failed state.

Just a couple of days ago we picked up a story from one of our favourite Whistleblower sites about a US Government Homeland Security site in Chicago where very strage things were going on. Our report compared it to The Ministry Of Love in Gorge Orwell's novel 1984.

NEIN! Germany's Bild Comdemns Latest Greek Can Kicking Exercise

No major UK political party has a coherent plan to cut immigration.
As the election creeps nearer, and latest figures show immigration has gone out of control again, it is clear UKIP is the only party willing to address the issue. The Liberal democrats would simply open the doors and dismantle all controls, while Convervative and Labour leaders mouth empty promises but are too afraid of being tagged 'racist' to act.

Why are people sceptical about climate change?
Forget the leftie hate mobs for the moment, ignore their claims that 'the science is settled' and any talk of 'the scientific consensus, there is a lot more to the debate than simple minded science worshippers will admit. Which explains of course why they are so desperate to suppress open discussion of the issue.

Dr. Offit, Vaccine Pusher in Chief is exposed as a liar.
Some time ago my editor-in-chief was the target of hate attacks by left wing sheeple for questioning the effectiveness of vaccines as anything but profit drivers for Big Pharma. Well Ian has thick skin so he was quite pleased to have provoked a few death threats. One of his targets howver was Dr. Offit who had famously said new born babies could have 10,000 vaccines at the same time without suffering harm. He has not fared so well, having become an object of ridicule.

Europe Fractures: France Pivots To Putin, Cyprus Offers Moscow Military Base and Germany-US Splinter On Ukraine
Yesterdayâs news reports did the usual whitewash job in reporting the the Minsk Summit which aimed to thrash out a Ukraine âpeaceâ deal. Mainstream media gives the impression that the US / EU / NATO alliance are solid in their defence of Ukraine following the CIA engineered coup last year, in reality the various parties involved appear to be flying apart faster than the fragments of shell casing from missiles exploding at they strike targets on Donetsk.

America Is Being Destroyed
A guest post today from USA based writer and poet, Vic Damico. We have written many times of the harm being done to the cultural and social structure of Western Europe's developed nations by the determination of the elites to crush true cultural diversity and replace it with a politically correct monoculture in which differences in skin colour and sexual preference replace diversity of ideas, philosophies and lifestyles.

A Monster From The Past Wreaks Havoc - Cthulhu? Yog Sothoth? Snow?
It was a thing from the past they said, a monster from the paleo - darkness that by 2010 would be made extinct by the downside of progress and never return to afflict children growing up today. It would die because of climate change, they said, and the world would be as if it had never existed. And the Ice Dragon would be slain and disappear from ...

Putin Isolated? What about his new best mates France and Germany
perhaps most significantly is France's continued apparent pivot towards Russia...

Labour politicians wilfully ignored sex abuse, former MP reveals

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), now facing its eighth round of talks between negotiators this week in Brussels.

Paedophilia normal in human males? Is it really Professor?
Regular readers of this blog will not need to be reminded that we donât have much time for academics. For the most part they tend to be useless individuals who couldnât hold down jobs as shelf stackers or burger flippers were they forced to live in the real world. Due to the bizarre way our education system assess human intelligence however,

Labour's Multicultural, Utopian Paradise?
Boggart Bloggers had a good idea what the Rotherham sex abuse report, published yesterday, was going to contain for quite a while. Rotherham had long been one of the Labour flagship councils that the party's propaganda machine liked to portray as a multicultural utopian farmyard in which all the cultures were equal.

Another Conspiracy Theory Becomes Fact: Oil Collapse Is All About Obama's Proxy War With Russia.
While we are distracted with sex scandals at home and terrorists rampaging through the middle east and Africa, the US / EU / NATO confrontation with Russia / China / Iran is geting into a very dangerous state.

GM babies? How About The Frankenstein Lobby Try A Bit Of Honesty And Call It Eugenics
As the British Parliament debated legalising the use of techniques to create three parent babies and the dishonest champions of scientific fascism claim is is a perfectly safe development to remove faulty genes from humanity and in no way similar to programs with the same aim carried out in Nazi Germany, we challenge them to be honest and admit what they propose is Eugenics, a morally repugnant quest to create a master race. And all three main political parties support it.

Obama Lubes Up And Bends Over To Service The Worst Corporate Tax Dodgers
Obama was always the corporate candidate. It is any wonder then that under his presidency, in spite of promises to redistribute wealth from rich to poor, the wealth gap between rich and poor has grown immensely wider? Is it any wonder that under his presidency the anti democracy trade deals TTIP and TPP are being pushed on the world, even though they will benefit the worst corporate tax dodgers?

Google Driverless Car Project - there are still a few snags to be ironed out
We said when it was first announced nearly a year ago that the Google driverless car was a non starter. It was not just the fact that Mercedes are miles ahead, nor Google's lack off attachment to reality. It was not the obvious (to those who have worked in the industry) tchnical problems, but the fact that people don't like giving control to machines that will scupper it. Oh and the insurance problems.

High Class Prostitutes Are Used As Bribes In Business Deals.
Shock, horror!

The vaccine controversy erupts again as governments, politicized scientists and profit hungry corporations step up the bullying of parents about getting children vaccinated against minor illnesses or problems that will never afflict them (vaccinating boys against cervical cancer for example).

The Death Of Democracy - Lobbying For TTIP
For some years now I and my libertarian friends in the blogosphere have been warning that democracy in the west is under threat, elected governments having been infiltrated by lobbyists working for a corporate elite.

Secret âBADASSâ Intelligence Program Used To Spy On Smartphones.
Oh what a laugh, what a grin, those kool dudes who strut around with their iPhones clamped to their ear to show us that they paid $500 for a phone they could hsve bought for $150 had they been willing to do without the little Apple logo, and those who bought smart phones because, well everybody who is anybody has one, have been well and truly had.

For some years now we have been warning that democracy in the west is under threat, elected governments having been infiltrated by lobbyists working for a corporate elite. These lobbyists, who have no official status but plenty of money available for 'hospitality' to help them enlist the support of corrupt officials â but more and more often these days, prominent scientists, 'special advisers' and former politicians who are happy to sell their reputation.

The NHS doctors who get cash from healthcare firms for patient referrals
An investigation revealed incentives, often worth tens of thousands of pounds, have been offered to doctors by private healthcare companies in exchange for referring patients to their hospitals.

The European Union May Be on the Verge of Regime Collapse
Europe won the Cold War and looked set to become the global superpower. So where did it all go wrong?
Not long after the Berlin Wall fell a quarter of a century ago, the Soviet Union collapsed, the United States squandered its peace dividend in an attempt to maintain global dominance, and Europe quietly became more prosperous, more integrated, and more of a player in international affairs. Between ...

The age of financial privacy is overYes you read that right. The fascist regime in the USA has usurped to itself the right to raid bank accoutns anywhere is the world.

Transhumanism - Elitist and Mad Scientist Collaboration To Turn Us Into Automatons.
Transhumanism: there are two definitions, the production of human animal hybrids with the aim of producing superhuman creatures and the merging of humans with machines as a shortcut to creating programmable decives with human instinct, logic and congnitive skills. Neither promises any benefit to humankind in the view of those of us who believe only the natural human being can fulfill individual potential.

From Keynesian Shangri-La To Outright War

Everything You Need To Know About The Greek Crisis.
Those people who think I have suddenly become a right wing extremist because I have been supporting UKIP's anti - EU, anti - Global Government stance and their resistance to the political mainstreams war on European cultures by be surprised to know that I was hoping for the Greek General Election to deliver a convincing victory for left-wing party Syriza.

Greece Votes On Whether Its People Have Any Future

Democracy: Does It have A Future Or Has Global Totalitarianism Won?
The General Election in Greece (January 2014) could have much wider effects than most elections in small nation, the vote could decide the future of the European Union and have a major breaing on whether democracy can survive the push towards government by a global, corporate oligarchy. It look like being an interesting few months if the anti - EU party wins as polls suggest they will.

People Are Waking Up To The Fact That The European Union Is On The Fast Track To Fascism.
Greece has a General Election and it looks as if the anti - EU, extreme left Syriza party will win comfortably. In previous elections that went against the Euronazis in Brussels, the democracy hating bureaucrats simply told the sovereign government of the member nation that the vote was not acceptable. If their try to overturn the Greek result in the same way it will trigger massive civil unrest.

German Anti-Islamisation Marches: What the Mainstream Media Doesnât Want You to Know
For people who rely for news on mainstream media, what is increasingly known in Germany as the âliar pressâ (Luegenpresse), the narrative that the racist, anti Islam protestors have turned nasty might stick. And when the reports throw in salacious details about the former leader of this movement and his colourful past, or the tragic death of an immigrant man who was killed shortly after a demonstration in Dresden last week, the pro immigrant propaganda starts to look like the voice of reason.

So Who's Making Up Innuendos About Leon Brittan
The rumor mill has gone to warp speed following the death of alleged dossier - shredder Leon Brittan.

The Death Of Democracy - Are The Elites Running Scared From Public Opinion
When did democracy go out of fashion. I don't remember voting on whether we wanted to give up our civil liberties or be ruled by a dictatorship of unelected bureaucrats from Brussels, but that is where we are heading, along with the other free nations of Europe. And the USA, so-called land of the free is further along the road to fascism than Europe.

Why the war on CO2 has done far more harm than good
Warmageddonists send a lot of time screeching and scaremongering about the potpentially catastrophic outcomes of increased atmospheric CO2 levels, exaggerating their claims wildly in order to frighten people into supporting their war on the oil and coal industries.

Researchers Discover How to Use Living Plants to Generate Electricity.
Most of the hyped green energy solutions to generate electricity from wind or sunshine are so obviously flawed the only thing that makes them economically viable is that governments offer huge subsidies to generators.

Je Suis Saussice (in defence of your right to eat pork sausages)
Just as we showed solidarity with the publishers of Charlie Hebdo magazine after twelve staff were murdered by religious extremists and defended the right of citizens in democratic nations to criticize religion by saying "Je Suis Charlie" so we are now making a stand in support of the freedom to eat sausages (which is an abomination to Allah apparently,) by saying "Je Suis Saussice".

Trade Treaties Fast Track Not A Done Deal, The People Will Stop It
The fast tracking of two trade treaties, TTIP and TPP that the corporate gofor, President Barack Hussein Obama, is pushing in the hope that the deals, will enable him to complete the task he was shoehorned into office for by transferring control of national laws from elected governments to corporate lawyers, looks to be stalling.

Weâre told this week that Washingtonâs National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationâs National Climatic Data Center (NOAA) had finally crunched its numbers for 2014, and Al Gore is a very happy man, as are the armies of amateur climate experts who take government scientific announcements as gospel.

Could 'DNA editing' lead to designer babies?
Designer babies, human / animal hybrids, these things have been in wet dream territory for scientists for a long time. But now due to techniques such as DNA editing, they are getting worryingly close to reality.

Russia throws down the gauntlet: energy supply to Europe cut off; petrodollar abandoned as currency war escalates
There are some big moves taking place on the global stage that you need to know about, as this could all lead to World War III.

Earthâs CO2 Levels Pass Global Warming âMilestone', Nothing Happens - Daily Caller.After two decades of panic stricken scientists and screeching lefties wailing about the catatrophe that would ensue once the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere passed 400 parts per million, that figure was reached in December 2014. No islands sank, no ice caps disappeared, no cities were incinerated. Which is pretty much what those of us who recognize the science of scaremongering when we see it predicted would happen.

Oxford University Bans All Things Pig Related In Support Of Free Speech

The Debt Ponzi Deconstructed
Most of us are familiar with the concept of GDP as a measure of economic health. If GDP increases, the myth goes, then the economy has grown.

Unfortunately GDP is a false economic measure, it only measures the rate at which money churns around the economic system.

In The War On Terror, Freedom Is Not Winning
While we would like to write about more positive things, protecting democracy and free speech, guiding people towards healthy lifestyles, how we the punters can save the planet (especially from the idiocies of the Warmageddonist lobby) and so on, we find far too much of our time is spent trying to get the truth about important issues in front of readers.

The Euro Is Closer To Collapse Than Anyone Cares To Admit.
A victory for the anti EU Syriza Party in the Greek elections later this month would lead to a Greek default on its massive sovereign debts. This in turn would mean Greece would have to quit the EU.

It is going to be interesting to watch this one play out.

Climate change has become a more fanatical and more dangerous religion that fundamentalist Christianity, Islam or Zionism.

What Would George Orwell Think Of The Screeching Left's Horror At Plans To Shrink The State.
In part one of his classic social commentary, The Road To Wigan Pier, George Orwell wrote of the grinding poverty and appalling living conditions endured by people in industrial areas.

Evolution: Theory, Fact or Fiasco?
Much as I have faith in Charles Darwin's Theory Of Evolution as a feasible explanation of how diverse species originate (The Origin Of The Species) it annoys me when science fans insist "Evolution is not a theory, its a fact."

Even more annoying is their assumption that anyone questioning them is a young Earth creationist. Here are a few thoughts on some of evolution theory's inconsistencies ...
